John

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of men, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John's baptism.

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine. And you say: He hath a devil.

Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him. And he was in a doubt, because it was said

And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

But they answered and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias: and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.

And it came to pass that as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is preached: and every one useth violence towards it.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

But if we say, of men: the whole people will stone us. For they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

John beareth witness of him and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me is preferred before me: because he was before me.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?

John answered them, saying: I baptize with water: but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.

These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him; and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.

And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven; and he remained upon him.

The next day again John stood and two of his disciples.

And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John and followed him.

And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim: because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized.

For John was not yet cast into prison.

And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews, concerning purification.

And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony: behold, he baptizeth and all men come to him.

John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.
